    <h2>The FAIMS Project</h2>
    <p style="margin-top: 1em;"> </p>

            <p style="font-size: x-small;margin-top: 1em;">
                The FAIMS project &copy; ( Federated Archaeological Information Management System, <a href="http://fedarch.org" target="_blank">http://fedarch.org</a>) 
                has built a highly configurable system for 
                data collection using consumer grade Android tablets</p>

            <p style="font-size: x-small;margin-top: 1em;">
                The FAIMS system is suitable for collection of information in libraries, archives and museums, for social surveys, and for a range of 
                natural science field projects, as well as for archaeological survey or excavation (the original target audience). 
                The system is geographically aware, connects to internal or external cameras and GPS, and can synchronise data collection 
                across multiple tablets for team use. 
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: x-small;margin-top: 1em;">
                The FAIMS functions in Heurist allow the creation of a FAIMS project from a Heurist database, allowing the definition of the types of 
                entities and attributes (fields) to be set up using the Heurist Designer View interface. Heurist can also import data from a FAIMS project, 
                building the Heurist data definitions on the fly, and can export data to the tDAR and Open Context repository systems. 
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: x-small;margin-top: 1em; font-family: cursive;">
                FAIMS has been funded by the Australian Federal Government National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources Project 
                (<a href="http://nectar.org.au">NeCTAR</a> in 2012 - 2013) and the Australian Research Council Large Equipment Infrastructure Scheme (2014 - 2015)
